If being stuck in your home all day has any benefits then its the excuse to play new videogames or revisit previously played ones. Neat Corporation and Fast Travel Games only released Budget Cuts 2: Mission Insolvency in December 2020 and whether you have or haven’t played it, today’s performance update and sale may make the title an enticing one.
“During the development of BC2 we made significant advancements regarding performance compared to BC1. Despite this, some users were reporting bad performance, so we started digging even further for this update. The primary problem has been CPU performance, so we’ve reworked a couple parts entirely in order to bring CPU usage down further, as well as utilize a rendering feature we had previously overlooked. We did also fix a few bugs and add a couple new mutators along the way,” notes Fast Travel Games’ CMO Andreas Juliusson in a statement.
If you’ve not played either, the Budget Cuts series is a comedy infused stealth experience involving knives, a unique teleportation gun, squeezing into ventilation systems (and other small spaces) and a deadly bow. While being sneaky is encouraged you can still opt for action if you so wish.
